How to Automate Category Page Optimization with MCP (2026)

Why Automate Category Page Optimization?

Category Page Optimization is one of the most time-consuming recurring SEO tasks. Most teams do it manually: open a tool, navigate to the right report, export data, analyze in a spreadsheet, write up findings. An MCP-powered workflow replaces all of that with a single conversation.

When you automate category page optimization with MCP, you get:

• Consistent results every time (no human error in data collection)
• Faster turnaround (minutes instead of hours)
• AI-powered analysis on top of raw data
• Reusable prompts you can run on schedule

Prerequisites

1. An AI editor that supports MCP (Windsurf, Cursor, or similar)
2. Delulu9 MCP server ($12/mo) for keyword and search data
3. Optional: additional MCP servers for specialized data sources

Step-by-Step: Automated Category Page Optimization

1. Set Up Your MCP Servers

Add Delulu9 to your editor configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "delulu9": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@delulu9/seo-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DELULU9_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Create Your Category Page Optimization Prompt
